My Point of View: In business, credibility can be created before competence is tested. We can sell them on trusting us by engineering the first impressions we want, so let's be intentional and let's be sharp.

#40. Q: Whatâs the rule for wearing waistcoats?
If you wear a three piece suit, make sure the waistcoat covers your shirt at the waist and doesnât let it peak out. It looks disordered and slovenly and not the image you want after going to all the trouble to wear a three piece in the first place. This however can be quite tricky when buying off the rack suits. Custom suits will be much better at getting the length and balance correct.
